How many moderators would you suggest to "employ" to make sure that "For this moderators will always be available"? It will also increase unnecessary noise ("Excuse me, moderator, would you pls correct my mistake?"-"Done"-"Thx a lot" = 3 unnecessary posts).
Oh please don't go that way... you perfectly know that very few people will ask for such changes in their posts (and that a really tiny part of them will try to abuse of it)
So let the answer be just "enough" to that question :p
(and by the way using the report buttong can alert moderators without adding useless posts at all)

Why not go a step further to solve this issue? What about the repeated proposition to gather experience by setting the time-to-edit to a much longer limit? It's easily done for all users in the admin panel.
yes it's easy... as it's easy to see that those advocating for the change are 3 among 240+ so less than 2% and as always those making noise want to enforce things over those who don't
Sorry guys but for the while i prefer to test and see if the current setup does good. The setup i'm using have brought more good than harm on forums i've set up. So this is not really something for which i can't foresee the result.
And this one does not change from others : 5 to 10 guys not happy with that and 40000+ happy with that or not even noticing.
Rules cannot make everybody happy... but if they contribute to raise people responsibility on the forum and ensure a serious and respectful atmosphere all over there i'm ready to pay the price of having you three being unhappy for a while :-p
if It turns out that i have been wrong then i'd have to pay a beer to each one of you three as a mean to apologize
